they could give Michael Jacksons family a run for their money where exploitation is concerned.

true em, but at least the Jackson family waited until he was dead !
I'm sure they are not the only ones just waiting to 'cash-in' on his eventual demise.
Yes but they haven't even waited for him to die !.
Are they doing buy one get one ♫ freeeee Nelson Mandela ♪ ♫?
Is it "Die Hard" T Shirts and Baseball caps?
Its both. It will undoubtedly prove to be a profitable business, and it most definitely exploitation. As others have said, this lot make the Jackson family look graceful and dignified in comparison....
Oh.... funny about that.
I thnk it is time to advertise (geddit ?) the email I sent to the BeebNewschannel when I tired of seeing Winnie M selling herself and her merchandise.

They didnt reply but later editions were edited (so Dlamini and her sister got self serving air time)

to the BeebNewsChannel - St Madiba - [yesterday]

The madiba industry is in full swing – BBC history graduates leading the charge

The madiba’s grasping relatives – WInnie and Mandla up front of them -
are using every second of free Beeb time to self-advertise as they jostle the servile hacks.
Mandla after all has spent millions of someone else ‘ s money to build a Madiba centre
celebrating all phases of the madiba’s life and sacrifices –but in the Wrong Place ! Beeb hacks fell over themselves to give him opportunities to recoup some of his losses

Winnie – adoring and reverential pause from hackette – will be doing charity work on this her husband’s birthday.
Will it be in tyre recycling factory or perhaps kicking a football around with poor kids ?
Certainly not – the hacks are directed and troop obediently to an orphanage for the odd shot of WInnie serving brightly dressed orphans.

The sundry hacks intone “it is so poignant that such a famous man should celebrate his 95th Birthday in Hospital.”
One hack reverently suggests the British heat wave would not have occurred if the madiba had spoken against it, and certainly wouldnt be level 3 if he had had anything to do with it

This may be fun for the liberal hacks down south
and a free holiday in sunny climes

but it isnt news.
He might make a total recovery yet and, with a bit of luck, disinherit the lot of them. ;)
They are a digusting bunch of money grubing tykes aren't they. I hope the old fella revovers enough to change the will.
Question Author
I do wonder how many '' grandchildren '' he actually has?
I dont understand the point you are trying to make Anne - Why have you put "grandchildren" in inverted commas in your last post?
Oh he's got a few

Dlamini, her sister and I think, their half brother Mandla spring to mind.

He has been married three times.

I think 'grandchildren' deserve inverted commas, to show their less than filial piety, and the rather obvious grasping nature of their actions

wiki says 17 and innumerable gt grandchildren.

for grandchildren read venal greedy members of an extended Royal family
